2. Bundesliga: Jahn Regensburg Promotes Starlet Kieffer with Professional Breakthrough
Regensburg's youth player Kieffer secures a pro deal with the club - Regensburg's Club Jahn signs Youth Player Kieffer to a Pro Deal
Hey there, sports fan!
Today we're talking about a rising star in the German football scene. Jahn Regensburg, currently languishing at the bottom of the 2. Bundesliga, has given a golden ticket to their young gun, Ben Kieffer.
The 17-year-old defender, who's been tearing it up through the ranks since his U9 days, has inked his first professional contract with the Bavarian club. Kieffer's impressive performances and unyielding spirit clearly caught the attention of sporting director, Achim Beierlorzer, who praised Kieffer's immense potential.
His leap to professional football couldn't have come at a more critical time for Regensburg. With just three games left in the season, they're staring down the barrel, six points adrift from a relegation playoff spot. Unfortunately for Regensburg, it seems they might be on the fast track to relegation, with the possibility of being cast down to the 3. Liga as early as next weekend.
Now, let's put Jahn Regensburg's precarious standing into perspective. As of late April 2025, the club is sitting pretty at the bottom of the 2. Bundesliga table, with a whopping 31-point gap separating them from league leaders 1. FC Köln[5]. To avoid the dreaded automatic relegation, they'll need to glean 11 more points[5]. Regensburg’s position isn't looking great, but they're not out of the woods just yet. If they manage to turn things around, they'll enter a playoff against a 3. Liga side[3]. But for now, it seems they're firmly in the automatic relegation zone unless they pull off a miracle turnaround.
Kieffer's professional debut came on December 22, 2024, against SV Darmstadt, becoming the youngest debutant in Jahn's second division history at just 16 years, 10 months, and 5 days old. It's a story of resilience and grit, and a beacon of hope for a Regensburg team that desperately needs one.
